Keen Kutter brand, made by Bear & Son in Alabama. This is the #05 lockback pattern, and measures 3 ¾ inch closed. Caramel Jig Bone handles, brass liners, nickel silver bolsters, and round NKCA shield. This knife was made for the 2010 release of the National Knife Collector’s Association youth knife program.

The blade stamp says 2006, as the knives were made with leftover pieces. This is the first knife of the run, and the front bolster is serialized # 001. The blade is etched “2010 NKCA Youth Knife 1 of 400”. It comes with the original Keen Kutter tin and packaging.

*Please note, they did not make the full run of 400 knives this year as the blade states. Only 350 knives were made. The NKCA issued a statement afterwards explaining the discrepancy. Also note that the first 75 knives made had the wrong year etched on the blade (saying 2009). The balance of the release was corrected to say 2010, and the first 75 came with a certificate from the NKCA explaining the goof.

This knife is in like new condition, never used or sharpened. Handles are in great shape with no defects. The blade locks open nicely.

I’ve been on AAPK for 20 years. Return the knife if you aren’t happy. Message me if you have questions. $5 for shipping to 50 US states. Paypal accepted. Thanks.
